Hook and Cook Your Catch

Hook and cook your catch Key West. Are you visiting the island of Key West and going out on a fabulous fishing charter with Dream Catcher Charters or one of the other boats in the Key West fishing fleet? Wondering what to do when you catch yourself a keeper? I get this question almost daily. My suggestions is always the following. Bring it to a local restaurant to have it cooked up to enjoy. Fresh fish tastes amazing!

Just about every Key West fishing charter offers to clean and bag the legally harvested fish you catch and prepare them for the kitchen to be cooked. You hook it, they cook it. We call it the “Hook and Cook”. Most places provide the side dishes to compliment any fish dinner plus the amenities of the Key West restaurant.

Below is a list of Key West restaurants that will be happy to cook your catch for you. Just make sure that the fish is filleted by the captain or the mate beforehand. Otherwise you will have issues getting these establishments to cook your catch.

Hook And Cook Restaurants

Grouper season is from May 1 till the end of December here in Key West they make a delicious hook and cook. You catch them they cook them.

I love fresh fish as much as the next person, but please be respectful of the resources. Keeping a fish or two for a meal is great. But, why fill a cooler full of fish that is going to get frozen or wasted? Especially when you could be contributing to the destruction of a fishery by wiping out schools and burning down fish habitat that will not be able to recover.
